March Mischief by Ron Roy

Roy, Ron. March Mischief, illustrated by John Steven Gurney. 67 pgs. Random House, 2010. $4.99. Sexual Content-G; Language-G; Violence-G. The Calendar Mysteries series continues with a little St. Patrick’s Day sleuthing. Bradley, Brian, Nate, and Lucy decide to decorate their leprechaun statue like their dog for the town’s yearly leprechaun contest. The next day its missing and they get a creepy phone call saying that Lucky O’Leary took their leprechaun and several others. Lucky is a good guy, so who is trying to pin the theft on him and can they find their leprechaun before the contest? Formulaic and predictable, it is a gentle mystery that will no doubt appeal to its target audience of beginning chapter book readers. ADVISABLE – EL. Samantha, Public Librarian.
